The individual got back into his vehicle, and while attempting to leave, collided with the relative’s vehicle. The suspect then travelled a short distance north before his vehicle became inoperable. He then got out, and ran for a nearby bush line.

With the assistance of the RCMP Police Dog Services, the boy was located and taken into custody without incident.

The youth faces seven charges, including break and enter and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

The youth cannot be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and makes his first appearance in Prince Albert provincial court on Monday.
